Well-written, insightful, and timely. I really appreciate McCaulley’s love for Scripture and his desire to be thoughtful to his different audiences. His perspective is incredibly helpful.
Chapter One does an excellent job explaining his journey and the very real tensions he faces when he approaches the work of theology and interpreting Scripture.
Unfortunately his arguments in both Chapters 2 & 3 hinge on a lack of context and perhaps even an outright proof text. He makes some great points but he skips some basic hermeneutics to get there.
But everything comes together in Chapter 4. It’s not hyperbole to call it a masterpiece. Without question it’s the apex of the book. His analysis of the Gospel of Luke from the African-American perspective is some of the finest contextualization I’ve ever seen. It was incredibly moving. It made me love Jesus, the Word, and my brothers and sisters in Christ in a deeper way. Very powerful.
I look forward to reading whatever he writes next!
